Tired of using unsuitable tools for drawing wireframe diagrams, Christian Romney has built Frametastic (via Ajaxian). It is something that has come out of a personal itch, so maybe not production quality, but it works just fine within its limitations. The cool thing is that it is like a local web application.

Visual Studio Orphaned
Microsoft Vista, the new blue-eyed baby of Microsoft, does not support the primary development suite - Visual Studio, even the latest version. Latest versions of two flagship products, both by the same vendor, don’t work with each other. Does it sound stupid? [Continue]

Proprietary Better In Quality Than Open Source?
Gavin Clarke reports that open source software is still growing. The community is choosing the proprietary better polished rivals.
